However, restrictions apply to certain credit rating agencies, particularly in terms of new rating mandates and existing loans. For instance, there are specific limits on loan amounts for which fresh ratings can be obtained, and conditions governing the surveillance of existing ratings, particularly for larger working capital facilities.
